  • This video is a longer than usual, but there were a number of steps to making this old fashioned caramel cake. From the caramel sauce that is mixed into the batter to the brown sugar and butter frosting, this cake delivers a wonderful caramel flavor in every bite!

    Came across you by accident but I was immediatly hooked. I'm in Michigan and this is by far my most favorite cake. I have my mom's Dormeyer mixer with 2 bowls and a juicer, it still works like a charm. Still has that wonderful smell from the motor. You guys are absolutely GREAT!!!!!! God Bless and take care always. I will be subscribing. Much love from Michigan.

    You guys have taken me on so many trips down Memory Lane and this video is a great one. My mother had that very same Hamilton Beach "mixmaster". I still have the bowl and use it all the time. She even used to slide the head off the stand and use it as a portable hand held mixer. It must have weighed 20 lbs.! When I was a little kid, almost 60 years ago, I used to love to look into the vents on the end of the mixer and watch the little blue sparks the motor would make while running. I guess I was an easy kid to entertain! Please keep making videos. You guys make your audience feel welcomed and comfortable. You're the best!

      +Don Williams Hi Don! Sorry to be so late in responding, but I just saw the notice of your comment! Thank you so much for the note and I'm glad that seeing that mixer brought back good memories. Some of those old mixers, like the Hamilton Beach, were very well made. We will keep the videos coming - thanks again for your comment and for watching!

    Oh Kevin and Ralph!! Love you ! Been searching for this to make for Thanksgiving! My Momine (grandmother...how southern am I LOL) made this all the time. This is different from hers but I think the taste will be the same. I married a guy from Ohio and he nor his children have any idea what caramel cake is all about. I have been searching for this recipe for years! Thanks so much. This is going to remind me of my family that has been gone for so very very long!

  • @LuJustLu
    @LuJustLu Před 6 lety

    First of all....WOW! So I stumbled across your video while searching for Caramel Cake recipes to make for Thanksgiving. Instantly, I fell in love. From your vintage cookware and appliances to the music playing in the background, I was transported back to my childhood. The music reminded me of days when I was home sick from school, wrapped in a blanket watching old black and white movies. Nostalgic. I'm going to try this recipe. I've subscribed, now I must binge watch. Thank you for sharing 😊

    My absolute favorite cake of all cakes! I've never had a caramel cake where the actual cake layers were caramel. Usually yellow or butter cake layers. I will definitely be trying this very soon! Also, love your Hamilton Beach. I have a vintage Kitchen Aid and Sunbeam Mixmaster (which has juicer and meat grinder attachments). Love using them both. Cheers!

    • @cavalcadeoffood
      @cavalcadeoffood  Před 9 lety

      Adam - the most difficult part about making this batter is NOT eating the caramel sauce before putting it in the mix! And you know how much better this cake will taste when you make it using your vintage Mixmaster!! Hope you give it a try!!

    OMG!! I am so happy I surfed across this video, your cake looks delicious and I cannot wait to try and make this. I also love everything vintage, and I love that you shared the info on your vintage mixer, I will be looking for one of them, as well as your vintage or retro looking dishes. I love your vintage stove, wonder why they do not make that style today it looks like you have so much more room. Love the music, and your front door to your house. I too have a lot of vintage items, my stove is a vintage Frigidaire that has the work space on the right side, it also has a speed burner, and panels on all four side of the oven so your actual oven never gets dirty, you just slide the panels out and clean them. I think there is just the utmost quality in vintage items that are not found in items made today. Thank you Kevin & Ralph for a great video.

My favorite vintage item to collect right now is vintage sewing machines, I have 16 total right now 3 of them are treadles, and yes I know it is a bit much, :) but I just think the vintage machines are so cool. On the plus side, I love to sew. Have a great weekend. Markay

    Hi Kevin and Ralph! I've been binge watching your coking videos, and they are all marvelous! How often do you cook, Kevin? Every day? I'm always so tickled when you say, "I found this jar of [fill in odd item, like jar of dried beef] in the cupboard and decided to make [interesting dish]". There's something so early 1960s about everything you prepare, and it's soooooo homey and comforting!! I just want to sit down at the table with you guys and have coffee and cake or supper! And Margie is a doll, too!
    Keep 'em coming, fellas!!

    I would have made a nicer frosting than the one you used, you could have used the same recipe as you did for the sauce you made for the cake and added 1egg, Tsp vanilla and beat it in the mixer until it almost starts to set up you would have had an old fashion dark caramel frosting that would have set up like candy instead the powdered sugar frosting, I was disappointed when I heard you say you where going to use powder sugar icing I’m sure it was ok and faster for you but a real caramel icing would have been awesome on that gorgeous old fashion caramel cake, Great job on the cake.

    Evaporated milk is different from condensed milk. Condensed milk has sugar….like Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk…..very thick and very sweet. Evaporated milk is canned milk that has had some of the liquid “evaporated” out……two different kinds of milk.
